After leaving the editorship of "Daily Express", Rosie Boycott wasn't sure what to do next. A car accident forced her to rethink her life, turning her in a direction she never have imagined. This title follows Rosie Boycott and her two and four-legged companions in their efforts to make a smallholding profitable in an era of food globalization.
After leaving the editorship of the "Daily Express", Rosie Boycott wasn't sure what to do next. A terrible car accident forced her to rethink her life, turning her in a direction she would never have previously imagined. Working a small farm in Somerset proves a daunting task, but Rosie and her new husband Charlie are determined, and their immersion in rural living, hilarious and profoundly moving, reaps rewards they never expected. Pigs, ducks and geese are fattened for the butcher; vegetables and cut flowers are grown for a reluctant marketplace; and Rosie and Charlie discover much about the hard graft of running a smallholding. They learn too about weightier issues that affect the local community of Ilminster - particularly the new supermarket that threatens the soul of the local town centre. And Rosie finds recovery in the rhythms of the seasons.
